Read the help pages? The pie help page Argument definition for border  
refers you to the polygon help page... see that handy little link?

"border
the color to draw the border. The default, NULL, means to use  
par("fg"). Use border = NA to omit borders."

I get an error complaining about missing a "color" vector when I try  
to test border=NA  with your code, but presumably a more complete  
example would have demonstrated success. (  I did try putting in  
something for col= but then "radius" was also missing so back to you,  
booby.)
